A bold new direction for DETECTIVE COMICS as THE FLASH creative team of Francis Manapul and Brian Buccelato take over the creative reins! Batman finds himself knee-deep in a new mystery involving a deadly new narcotic that has hit the streets of Gotham City.

Superman: Doomed begins! Forces beyond Superman’s control gather to destroy the Man of Steel. And in their back pocket: Doomsday. While weakened from his incarceration, Doomsday’s still strong enough to destroy an iceberg with a single blow. How did he cross over from the Phantom Zone? And how long can the Ghost Soldiers distract Superman while Doomsday gains strength?

Who or what is the Ghost Soldier, and what mysterious ties does he have to The Man of Steel? Will he side with Superman as he is caught in the middle of the military’s battle with subterranean monsters?
